thanks for sharing. really neat to see all those Italian brands that were well represented here in the 80s, no longer often seen. I was surprised that there are new Ti bikes in the line-ups as well.

thanx

Thanks for sharing the link.

Maybe it's just my mood this morning (and I'm really in a good mood), but that old Frank Zappa quote kept coming to mind as I paged through the photos: "Ninety percent of everything is crap". All that swoopy Taiwanese reinforced plastic popped out of molds. Yeeesh. Who lusts for this commoditized junk?

Now, more than ever, a hand made custom frame is all that makes sense.
